    Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images He was darn good. The 2023 Royals starting pitching staff had a 5.12 ERA, fourth-worst in baseball. It was a revolving door of starters - 29 different pitchers made a start, although to be fair many were “openers.” Only three starters tossed at least 100 innings, and only one starter with 10+ starts posted an ERA below four - mid-season pickup Cole Ragans. Ra...2024

Not with the Phillies one win away from clinching the NL East title and the Cubs going after them with a bullpen game. It worked about the way you figured it might.

    Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images You play to win the game. The Royals find themselves in the hunt for a playoff spot, but with a flawed team that Fangraphs estimates has a 44 percent chance of making the playoffs and just a 1.7 percent chance of winning a title. They could use another bat that can get on base, and a reliever or two. But trading for players to help them this season could dama...2024

  • 2022
    "It rarely happens — Aroldis Chapman and Jason Hammel are the only recent examples of traded players who re-signed with the team who traded them — but I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing the Cubs make Willson an offer this winter."
